- 1:49Speaker 3: John Lemley in Seattle, a thirty seven year old man
- 1:52Speaker 3: accused of stabbing five people in a broad daylight attack
- 1:56Speaker 3: and possibly four others the day before, has now made
- 1:59Speaker 3: his first court appearance. Here's Sidney Sumner of Crime Online
- 2:03Speaker 3: with more.
- 2:04Speaker 2: The judge ordered the suspect held on a two million
- 2:06Speaker 2: dollar bail, citing his criminal record, which includes nine prior
- 2:10Speaker 2: felonies and an outstanding warrant. According to police, the suspect
- 2:13Speaker 2: allegedly began his attacks in the Chinatown International District, where
- 2:17Speaker 2: the stabbings appeared random. Four victims remain hospitalized, with one
- 2:21Speaker 2: upgraded to serious condition, while two others are in intensive care.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Investigators say the man may have been involved in a
- 2:28Speaker 2: string of similar attacks the day before. At the crime scene,
- 2:31Speaker 2: police recovered two bloodstained knives and found a third knife
- 2:34Speaker 2: lodged in one victim's back. Video evidence and witness accounts
- 2:38Speaker 2: described the suspect as calmly attacking individuals, reportedly walking up
- 2:43Speaker 2: behind people and stabbing them without warning. He was arrested
- 2:46Speaker 2: at the scene, allegedly wearing a sweatshirt that read Fear
- 2:49Speaker 2: the God State and showing visible signs of blood on
- 2:52Speaker 2: his hands and shoes. King County Prosecuting Attorney Lisa Mannon
- 2:56Speaker 2: expressed her commitment to ensuring public safety for residents and
- 3:00Speaker 2: visitors to the Chinatown International District, emphasizing the severity of
- 3:04Speaker 2: the charges.
- 3:05Speaker 3: The case remains under investigation, with prosecutors expecting additional details
- 3:10Speaker 3: later this week. The Defense Department plans to appeal a
- 3:13Speaker 3: recent military judge's decision to uphold plea deals for Khalid
- 3:18Speaker 3: Sheik Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September eleventh attacks,
- 3:23Speaker 3: and to co defendants. This ruling effectively overturns Defense Secretary
- 3:28Speaker 3: Lloyd Austen's earlier order to discard the plea agreements. The
- 3:32Speaker 3: military judge, Air Force Colonel Matthew McCall approved the plea agreements,
- 3:36Speaker 3: which will allow the three defendants to avoid the death
- 3:39Speaker 3: penalty and proceed with guilty pleas in the Military Court
- 3:43Speaker 3: at Guantanamo Bay. If accepted, this would mark a major
- 3:46Speaker 3: step forward in the lengthy and complex legal process for
- 3:50Speaker 3: the nine to eleven prosecutions, which have faced years of setbacks,
- 3:54Speaker 3: pretrial hearings, and debates over the admissibility of evidence gathered
- 3:58Speaker 3: under torture. The Defense Department has requested a delay for
- 4:03Speaker 3: any plea hearings as they work to appeal McCall's ruling.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Rear Admiral Aaron Ruff, the lead prosecutor, notified families of
- 4:11Speaker 3: nine to eleven victims of the judge's decision. Secretary Austin
- 4:15Speaker 3: previously argued that final decisions on plea deals in cases
- 4:19Speaker 3: involving potential death penalties should rest with the Defense Secretary,
- 4:23Speaker 3: not the military court.
